Check out this crazy cool spider!  Scientist this week for the department of biology at the University of Haifa-Oranim said that it was found and discovered in the dune of the Sands of Samar in the southern Arava region of Isreal.


Unfortunately it’s habitat is endangered and hopefully The Israel Administration will preserve this unique region to study this new discovery.
